This week Joss sits down with Vancouver’s own stand-up- writer, comedian, and actor, Gavin Matts. With only 5 years in the entertainment industry under his belt, this lower mainland born-and-bred comedian is showing promise as Canada’s most popular up and coming comic. After taking a huge leap and following his passions to LA, Matts has new insight to the ins and outs of the comedic world and experienced what it feels like to walk around with a 25k cheque in his pocket, a feat that most can’t say they’ve done after only a short time on the comedy circuit. Catch his debut comedy mixtape “Premature” on all streaming platforms now, and share some laughs on this pop-up edition of the ThinkSpace podcast.
